[Chorus 3: Claire L. Evans]
I thought the future would be cooler (nothing new)
I thought the future would be cooler (underneath the sun)
I thought the brave world would be newer (I can't save you)
I thought the future would be cooler (you’re already gone)

I thought the future would be cooler (nothing new)
I thought the future would be cooler (underneath the sun)
I thought the brave world would be newer (I can't save you)
I thought the future would be cooler (it's already gone)

[Outro: Claire L. Evans]
I thought the future would be cooler

About “I Thought The Future Would Be Cooler”

I Thought the Future Would Be Cooler is the title track on our forthcoming album of the same name. It is about relentless police violence, social media companies exploiting us emotionally, the ascendance of content over art, pleasure as a teleological end in itself, vaporized stimulants, and using the word “drone” to mean both a killing machine and a remote-controlled toy.
